Lizzy Ford did an excellent bringing this story to life and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Sci-Fi, mystery, romance and suspense.

If you could change history, would you?
College graduate Josephine “Josie” Jackson answers ‘yes’
to the question on a survey while visiting an Old West tourist trap. The next
morning, she wakes up in Indian Territory in the 1840s, where she’s given a
mission to complete before she can return to her time: to reset history by
finding and stopping the man responsible for a horrific massacre.
It seems easy enough, until she discovers that three other
women have been sent back to the same time period. When Josie uncovers what
happened to them, she realizes the chances of her getting out of the past alive
are not good.
To survive, she’ll have to trust the very man she’s there
to stop, someone who has every reason to distrust her and only one reason to
help her - to prove he’s not the monster she claims he’ll become.

Excerpt:
Gasping for air, my eyes flew open, and I flung my arms wide, too fevered to touch my own skin. Cold rain poured from the skies, shocking me at first. Lightning tore through the night, brilliant and bright, before it vanished and just as quickly plunged me once more into darkness.
The world smelled funny, like the area in Tombstone
Disoriented, I pushed myself up and looked around. I lay
in the bottom of a steaming crater, right at its center. At first I
thought I was surrounded by water, until I recognized the glassy, green rock.
“Moldavite,” I recited. “Occurs when dirt and dust are
thrown into the atmosphere after a meteorite hits the earth.”
Moldavite was rare – and sold for a huge price. If I took
some back to my aunt, I knew her jeweler could make me something from it
and I could sell the rest to pay down my student loans. A thrill went
through me at the discovery and I stretched towards the nearest pile. It was
still soft. The weird sensation of malleable glass made me withdraw. Wiping my
hand self-consciously on my wet yoga pants, I took a second look around.
How did I get to the center of a crater? Beneath me was
earth, and surrounding me, moldavite. As if I had been there when the
meteorite struck. As if I were the meteorite. I touched the edge of a
thick chunk of moldavite near one foot. It was still soft enough for me to
push an indent into but cooling rapidly. No longer super heated, it had
not yet frozen into its permanent shape yet, either. This shit is worth a
fortune. And there was a ton of it. If I weren’t somewhere I shouldn’t have
been, I would have been calculating how to transport the rare rocks to the
hotel before someone else found them.
More than the chilly rain caused the shudder that ran
down my spine. Aside from feeling fevered, I was in the pajamas I normally
went to sleep in. I seemed healthy or at least, uninjured.
Beyond the moldavite and patch of dirt were natural,
rock-dirt walls about six feet tall topped by swaying grasses battered by
the winds of the storm.
Had a meteorite hit Tombstone
Confused, I shifted to my knees. I felt … weak. As if my
muscles were having difficulty remembering how to walk.
That makes no sense! Frustrated, I climbed to my feet.
One pocket of my pajamas was heavy, and I reached in to see why. My cell
phone was there. Satisfied I could call for help, once I was out of the crater,
I ventured onto the moldavite. My feet sank into the soft glass, and I
grimaced. Wobbling, I caught myself twice as I made my way to the edge of
the meteor pit. Rain quickly filled my footsteps, leaving behind an eerie
trail. I made it up the slope and over the edge of the crater before pausing at
my second obstacle: the dirt wall that was my height.
Fevered and tired with the mild throb of an
alcohol-headache, I leaned against the earthen wall standing between the
prairies and me. It was much cooler than I expected, and I pressed my forehead
to a flat stone for a moment. The rain was cold, and it felt good against my
burning skin.
How did I survive being flung out of the city into the
grasslands? I wasn’t hurt that I could tell. The last thing I really
remember was staggering through town with Carter. Had he been thrown out
of the town, too? What if he was hurt? What if my aunt and uncle were?
Someone’s hand stuck out over the edge of the crater. I
blinked, uncertain if I was seeing things or not. It was a strong hand, with a
wide palm and long fingers. Definitely a man’s hand by its size. What looked
like a thick bone and leather bracelet was around his wrist.
I had been talking to Carter and then …
